finishing up my 5spd swap and rebuild..help?

mattromey · 01-09-2010, 12:15 AM

so i finished just about everything on my 88 turbo and i'm getting ready to fire it up however i am having a problem with the neutral start. i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix that. i'm sure i can figure it out with enough time poking around on it but some help would be awsome to help speed it up.

Thanks
Matt

[strike]Care to be a little more specific? Have diagnostic codes indicating the NSW? Just can't get the engine to turn over? Starter won't crank at all?[/strike]

EDIT: There I go... speed posting before running out to dinner... missed the whole 5 speed part of the swap thing. Durrr.... Sorry.

Simple. Find the neutral safety switch, cut the wires at the connector, and splice together, completing the circuit.

The neutral safety switch was on the passenger side of the transmission with a three wire connector. The two prongs that are parallel to each other are the connectors for the safety switch. One wire should be black with a blue stripe, and the other black with a white stripe. Cut these two wires and splice them together. This from the TSRM. There used to be a sticky for it.

thanks again for all the help i got a chance today to take my 88 out and play! it was awsome i couldn't happier with the results of the tranny swap and engine rebuild. I realized i had for got to fill my tranny back up sense the install where i lost quit a bit but as soon as i get the oil back in it, it should be smooth as glass!

Oh one thing that happened to me today while i was driving is i was approuching a intersection i pushed in the clutch to coast in to the corner and the car died on me, it fired right back up but it was a little unnerving any ideas on what it could be other then just a fluke?

Thanks
Matt
